Angles, Britons, Danes, Saxons, etc

My vote is for: The Real Donald J Trump's Museum of British History and Bigly Stuff.





Please don't hit me...just joking...

Now Chaski.... you know I don't do violence.

Actually, I rather like your title. "British Museum" can sound soooooooo stuffy.

Perhaps other London landmarks could be re-branded too.

The Flamsteed Observatory could be re-named: That Place At The Top Of The Hill With A Telescope In It.

Trust Rowan Atkinson to have a view on what the British Museum should be called.......

That man is a treasure.

So Britain really has a museum known as The British Museum? Does it have another name, like maybe a nickname?

Yeah, Mr Golden Gate donated a lot of money to the arts in San Fran ... right?

Clara: Have you brought me to a space restaurant!

The Doctor: People never do that, you know.

Clara: Do what?

The Doctor: They never put the word “space” in front of something just because everything’s all sort of hi-tech and future-y. It’s never space restaurant or space champagne or space, you know, hats. It’s just restaurants, champagne or hats, even if this was a restaurant.

Clara: What about space suit?
The Doctor: Pedant.

Not as far as I know.

Some places do have nicknames or their titles are abbreviated. For instance, The Victoria and Albert Museum is often called "The V & A". Buckingham Palace is colloquially known to Londoners as "Buck House".

Twickenham Rugby Stadium is sometimes called "The Cabbage Patch" due to its former use as a market garden where cabbages were grown.

I hope this helps.

Yes, I suppose it does. I know these people who lived in London for a couple of decades, and they don't know about the British Museum. I find that surprising, but I believe they know every detail about British football teams. Seems odd, but it's not illegal, immoral, or fattening, so I guess that is just the way it is.

If only these three things were equal to maturity, intelligence and rational thought, then the USA would on the up swing right now.
